Billy The Kid Next Door

I was dressed to kill, I was ready

Oh, girl, I was stepping out, yeah

I was on my way to meet my steady

When this fine young thing turned me right around

At first I was frightened

Because he took me, he took me by surprise, whoo

But my heart knew that it was a hold-up

I could see the love light shining in his eyes

Right then I was held up

Girl, I was held up

I was held up by Billy the Kid next door

Yes, I was held up

My heart was held up

I was held up by Billy the Kid next door

The way he stole my affection

Oh, girl, you know that it ought to be a crime

Mm-hmm, and the way that he changed my direction

I had no projection

And I swear to you that I ain't lyin'

Oh-hoo, love was right here among me

I never knew that heaven could be so close

I was on my way to meet my steady

When right next door is what I needed most

Oh, I was held up

Right then I was held up

Oh, I was held up by Billy the Kid next door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was held up

Ooh, I was held up

My heart was held up by Billy the Kid next door

(solo)

Ooh, Billy...

At first I was frightened

Because he took me, he took me surprise

But my heart knew that it was a hold-up, yeah

I saw the love light shining in his eyes

Right then, right then I was held up

My heart was held up

But you know I was held up

By Billy the Kid next door

Ooh-ooh-ooh, I was held up

Yes, I was held up

Ay-I was held up by Billy the Kid next door

He drew his pistol on me

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

Ow, he had a love gun

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

I was held up by Billy the Kid next door

And I know he's wanted

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

Oh, the boy is wanted

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

Oh, he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door

On the go

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

The go for Billy

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

'Cause he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door

I said he's wanted

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

That boy is wanted

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

Ooh, he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door

Oh, oh, oh, Billy

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

Oh, Billy

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

Oh whoa, Billy, Billy the Kid next door

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Billy

Ho-whoa-whoa, Billy

Hey, Billy, Billy the Kid next door

That boy is wanted

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

I know he's wanted

(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)

'Cause he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door
